John, by Matthew Borczon

A Haunting Gaze, by J.J. Campbell

there's a darkness in your eyes a haunting gaze that sucks me in and convinces me i never want to leave i understand it's not exactly love but we're not exactly the kind of humans that need such shit holding hands on the eve of the apocalypse is thrilling enough J.J. Campbell (1976 - ?) is old enough to know where the bodies are buried. He's been widely published over the years, most recently at Synchronized Chaos, Mad Swirl, Horror Sleaze Trash, Rusty Truck and In Between Hangovers. You can find him most days bitching about something at his mildly entertaining blog, evil delights. ( http://evildelights.blogspot. com )
